Idris signs five-year deal with Titans

The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed the signing of Canterbury superstar Jamal Idris for the next five NRL seasons.

The barnstorming centre rejected deals from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the cashed-up Newcastle Knights, who on Tuesday announced they had snared supercoach Wayne Bennett on a four-year deal.

The Titans offer, believed to be in the region of $1.8 million, also includes plans for a television program starring Idris and an indigenous ambassadorial role.
